6020 .. has edge but has Infrared

3220 .. good (but no BT)

Nokia 6021 is the best ... has EDGE & you can access net on computer through BlueTooth.

Airtel has already started it's edge service.... you can go for the 3220 or 6630... the 6630 is more expensive but faster.... the serial interface on the 3220 limits speed to bout 100 kbps... 12 to 13KBps... the USB interface on the 6630 does not
